AXIS dance Company
“…So irresistible has been AXIS’ rise that one long ago stopped marveling at how these performers transcend handicaps…In fact, one attends their concerts with the expectations one brings to any superior repertory modern dance company.”
Allan Ulrich, Voice of Dance
AXIS began in 1987 when founding Artistic Director Thais Mazur had the great idea and creative vision to gather a group of dancers with and without disabilities to explore dance and create a performance piece. This first piece premiered in 1988, receiving a standing ovation. With Thais as a driving force, AXIS quickly took off from there, receiving offers to perform and requests for classes and other education programs. In this first decade the Company developed a new, innovative movement vocabulary distinctly its own and a language for speaking about and teaching ‘physically integrated’ dance. AXIS introduced audiences and presenters locally, nationally and internationally to this new form of contemporary dance by bringing to stage an exciting and impressive body of work. AXIS filled an important and otherwise unmet need by providing a forum where dancers with and without disabilities of all ages and levels of dance experience could create and dance together. But it wasn’t always easy convincing some that AXIS was creating dance and not ‘just doing therapy.’
In 1997 as the Company entered our second decade, AXIS went through a change in leadership and a corresponding change in its philosophy, artistic direction and education focus. With the new Co-directiors Judith Smith and Nicole Richter, AXIS set out to radically increase the artistic quality and range of its repertory by commissioning world-class choreographers from outside the company as well as continuing to support its in-house choreographers. Inspired by Nicole’s work in the UK, AXIS also dramatically expanded its education and outreach programming, renaming it Dance Access and soon after adding a youth component Dance Access/KIDS!
Under the artistic direction of Judith Smith since 2001, the company has collaborated with and commissioned works by such innovators as Bill T. Jones, Stephen Petronio, Joe Goode, Joanna Haigood, David Dorfman, Alex Ketley, Kate Weare, Sonya Delwaide, Victoria Marks, Ann Carlson, Margaret Jenkins, Joan Jeanrenaud, Meredith Monk, Fred Frith, Eve Beglarian, Katrina Wreede and SoVoSo. More than any other company in the United States, AXIS has been a bridge between contemporary dance and physically integrated dance.
Now entering its third decade, AXIS’ vision is to remain a leader in the emerging field of physically integrated dance by continuing to set new artistic and educational standards. Likewise, it aims to be a contender in the field of contemporary dance by commissioning renowned choreographers, composers and designers to create an exciting, innovative touring repertory. AXIS wants its work to challenge traditional definitions of ‘dance’, ‘dancer’ and ‘ability’ to expand dance to include an entire community that has been virtually left out of the performing arts. At AXIS, our biggest dream is to make a lasting contribution to contemporary dance.
Over the course of its history, AXIS has performed and taught throughout the United States as well as in Germany, Siberia, Slovenia and Croatia, earning international praise for its high artistic and educational standards and groundbreaking movement vocabulary. The Company has established itself as an important Bay Area dance company and has gained national visibility as an exciting contemporary repertory company.
AXIS has created OVER sixty repertory works, two evening length works and two works for young audiences. AXIS has been commissioned to create works for Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Bates Dance Festival, San Francisco Exploratorium and the CAL Performances and UAM/PFA's Off the Wall series.
On June 30th, 2011 AXIS dance Company was featured on Fox Tv's "So You Think You Can Dance?"
AXIS dancers Sonsheree Giles and Rodney Bell performed an excerpt from "to color me different" choreographed by Alex Ketley.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing some research on that. And he just bought me lunch since I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch! “We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God’s.”
